Biography
Fiveman
Gaku at age 7
At 27 years old (48 in Gokaiger), he is the eldest and leader of the team. A Science teacher skilled in kendo, Gaku was 7 at the time of the Zone's attack on Sidon. Calm and responsible, he had the task of raising his four siblings along with Arthur G6, making him not just a big brother but also a leader and a parental figure.
Out of fear, fired a gun at Garoa's face, scarring him, creating a rivalry. Even though he is a reliable and brave leader, he has a major weakness with the supernatural.
In some episodes, Gaku is frequently the victim from the enemies' attack when he, Ken and Fumiya are hit from Gagaagin's hypnotic control at the time they are barging the male's public bath house, he is almost stabbed by his younger brother Fumiya who is under mind control of Kumorugin's spider while he was asleep before he manages to get the mind controlled spider on his brother's head and stabs it with a small knife to make Fumiya return to normal while being restrained by Ken, Kazumi and Remi and finally being critically injured by Chevalier as FiveRed due to the effects of Wanikaerugin's power to freeze time leading him to fell into the edge below and his death which forces his sister Kazumi to aid Wanikaerugin to hurt her siblings and to fool Wanikaerugin into using its time ability in reverse where he was still alive when Chevalier ambushes them.
In Episode 40, Gaku is revealed to be the master in the art of Kendo when he trains his kendo students as one of his students, Manabu aspires to become like him as a kendo master and a fighter. Gaku also sacrifices his life by injuring his right shoulder blade by Manabu who is possessed by the Majin Sword in order to regain control of his student. Gaku is also strict as seen in the end of the episode where he mildly slaps Fumiya's butt with his kendo stick to keep train his students properly.
